 There are not enough words to describe how amazed and grateful I am for the dedication and compassion of our 55,000 volunteers who tirelessly give themselves to CFA and the Victorian community. During my travels across the state over the last few months, I've had the great pleasure of meeting quite a number of our volunteers. It is now very clear to me what finds our people together is their shared values and teamwork. As a modern emergency services organisation, CFA will continue to grow and adapt to meet the needs of our ever-changing communities. We'll refine and strengthen our approach to ensure our volunteers have the support required to continue to perform their role of protecting life and property in Victoria. To our volunteers, you make a difference to your community every day. You're the heart of our organisation and because of you, many lives have been saved. The National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to say thank you and to set the stage for future success for our organisation and our people. This week, we reflect on the important role that volunteers have in many facets of our community. We are incredibly proud of the work our volunteers do to protect lives and property right across Victoria. Our volunteers are the backbone of CFA and the core to the resilience of the communities we protect, from our small rural communities to our regional cities and our expanding metropolitan suburbs. To all CFA volunteers, past and present, we acknowledge the vital contribution you make to CFA and to building community resilience for a safer Victoria. We also say thank you to your families and your employers for the great support you give us. We are truly grateful. Thank you.
